Additional Information

D.E.R.® 383 Epoxy Resin is a liquid epoxy resin processed to give low viscosity without the use of diluents. The physical strength, toughness, excellent adhesion, chemical resistance and low shrinkage have established liquid epoxy resins as major raw materials for high quality solvent-free coatings, linings, industrial flooring, groutings and concrete reinforcements. They may also be used for tooling, encapsulation, adhesives, filament winding and laminates. D.E.R.® 383 Resin can also serve as a basis for advanced polymers for a variety of solvent-borne, water-borne and UV-curable resins.

A wide variety of curing agents is available to cure this liquid epoxy resin at ambient conditions. The most frequently used curing agents are aliphatic polyamines, polyamides, and modified versions of these. Elevated temperatures cures are necessary and long post- cures required to develop full end properties if anhydride or catalytic curing agents are employed.
